Impelled by its distinct spirituality, the Society of Jesus has been finding God in all things for almost five centuries. With this enthusiasm, the Jesuits distinguished themselves in the sciences thanks to the work of people like Roger Joseph Boscovich, SJ, Angelo Secchi, SJ, and SLU’s James Macelwane, SJ, along with countless lay collaborators and former students at Jesuit institutions worldwide. All SLU faculty and staff are invited to a very special opportunity to hear David A. Brown, SJ, present on this rich heritage and his work at one of the world’s most prestigious astronomical institutions.
